PS3 sells a million in Japan, RPG White Knight Story to sell more

A new survey from Famitsu publisher Enterbrain claims that 1.01 million PlayStation 3s have been sold in Japan since the console launched there on November 11.White Knight Story seems to shaping up real nice and is bound to move more PS3s over here in the land of the the rising sun. Look out for more come September at the Tokyo Game Show! Some may think it looks like a Japanese take of Oblivion and Two Worlds.
The trailer will put that to rest:

[MyNutsYourChin]

White Knight Story is going to kick some serious RPG a**. I'm definately getting this one.

[The Swordsman]

I have never been a fan of RPGs, but I must say that this does indeed look good. Could this be the game to finally pull me over to "the dark side"?

[THC CELL]

looks epic

[Bebedora]

dance in joy like only martin in the simpsons can do that day I have it in my hands

[Ebay3rd]

Oh , I'll have that...Looks big Real Big...

[ApocalypseShadow]

at a higher price and less games coming out a year later.

and adding a great looking game backed by sony will help improve sales.

now sony,get cracking on legend of dragoon 2 or dark cloud 3.that would be cool for rpg fans.

[timmyp53]

well we still got all the 2007 games coming out to tide us over. =)

It's just amazing how Level 5 could make game like that. Buy it Day one for me.

[Vojkan]

Bubbles for me?

[Meus Renaissance]

Aww, :) Bubbles for you then

[Bebedora]

pimping for bubles? :)

[SilvaSurfa]

Then it dissappeared. Glad to see that its back. Games like this give me that PS2 feeling about the PS3. Thats one thing the PS2 had I could never complain. Some strong RPG's.

BTW: I'm calling it now. Huge sales spike in Japan when this hits. garunteed.

[egyptian_diarrhea]

is it just me or the main character is running like a little girl?
Seems like a good rpg, although the fights seem a little slow.

[JasonXE]

doesn't look close to what this trailer is showing at TGS 2006. They release a new screenshot a few days ago, and it looks good but not like this.

[Bebedora]

Runs like a girl? What girls have you been watching? Olga, the polevaulter with hairy armpits from russia?

Slow combats? Well.....it's pre pre pre pre preeee alpha

[Meus Renaissance]

The game looks amazing.

But what is up with the way he walks?

It's like he has something up his ass? They need to update this pronto or it wont sell much in the West - I don't know about the East. But I don't want my character to walk like he's had a gay orgy lastnight.

[JIN KAZAMA]

waiting on new news of White Knight. When they first showed it, i was so excited about it, and now it just proves to me, why this game is gonna be so great.

[r1000]

yea this looks pretty cool.... But I'm just waiting for Folklore... hurry up already...

[Contra26]

PS3 IS ONLY 1 MILLION BEHIND HALO3 PRE-ORDERS

[DiLeCtioN]

cant you just say something reasonable jeez...halo is good but its not the god of games. sooner or later you would swap it at your local game shop for a new game.

[Pug]

This was one of the first game trailers I saw for the PS3 and along with some others convinced me the PS3 was def worth investing in.

RPG's are one of my favourite genres so I'm really excited about this and as Japan seems to love its RPG's I expect this to shift quite a few units over there.

[nobiggy]

might ave somthing to do with there being more f***ing xbox's ya clown :/
but dont worry contra26 that will all change. see i dont know many ppl that want a shoddy built console, and you gotta admit the xbox is shoddy
"mrk01 because sony always have deliverd in the end

[Robotz Rule]

Keep reminding yourself...Halo 3 is the best...Halo 3 rocks...Halo 3 rules...Halo 3 is the only game me and other XBOTS will be playing this and the next two years...now slowly bang your head against the wall =)

[Maddens Raiders]

...this is what I took away from the video.

I'll admit, I was really in the dark about this game up until now that is. Add another to the list - damn these video games are driving me to the poor house!

[mrk01]

For the most expensive and offers the least number of games, how do people really trust Sony to deliver

[kewlkat007]

The more RPG's the merrier. This looks like a mix of western/Japanese style RPG, looking by the character models. Actually, you probably can compare this to the fable series. Now what about the Story?

[mikeslemonade]

It offers the same premises and more like Blue Dragon and Blue Dragon had a 1:2 ratio for games/systems sold. Imagine this on the PS3 and how many systems it will sell.

[360theAssasinsCreed]

I am picking one up August 3rd to compliment my 360 and really am starting to get excited in Sony again with some of these games they showed at E3. Lair is a big one for me looks phenominal, of course you have MGS4 and FF13 but those are givens LOL. I was just wanting some feedback from you guys that own the PS3 and have spent time with it, on which games out now are worth getting. I like MLB the Show07 i played it at friends house on the PS2 though is it worth getting for the PS3? Also thinking of Resistance, Heavenly Sword of which most of the games are still a little while away but since the price drop on the 60GB i figured time to pick one up so i will be set when these top PS3 games drop.

Very good time to be a gamer for sure.

[Leogetz]

"people really love the PS3
For the most expensive and offers the least number of games, how do people really trust Sony to deliver"

Best at E3, amazing game lineup for 2007, 2008 looks to be even more amazing. Yeah, I think that's what you're looking for.

[the_round_peg]

that PS3 has only sold about 1 million units in Japan, Sony's home turf.

[ElementX]

So that map at the beginning, is that how you travel between locations?

[timmyp53]

or maybe.. its parts of the story or somethin

[ElementX]

That's lame, but the game looks good anyway.

[Itachi]

1 million in japan after 7 months

1 million units sold in europe aftr 2 months come europe lets become the powerhouse of gaming
